Optical Packet Switching and Optical Burst Switching
2020Optical transmission has long been the established choice for nonwireless data transmission spanning distances longer than a few tens of meters, due to its high bandwidth and electromagnetic noise immunity. Most current high-bandwidth networks are essentially a group of fiber-optic links connected by nodes whose function is to forward incoming data to ...

This chapter provides an outline of the main concepts and issues related to optical packet switching (OPS). The basic network functions required by this paradigm are discussed and references to past and current research on the topic are provided. Optical packet switching is a transport technique that assumes information to be organized in packets ...

Packet switching or optical switching?
IEEE Internet Computing, 2000One of history's main benefits is that it lets us detect trends that help predict the future. Over the past 30 years since the Internet started (1970-2000), many clear trends have emerged. The article very briefly examines the most critical of these trends, the one that led to the creation of the Internet: the packet switching cost trend.

Buffering in optical packet switches
Journal of Lightwave Technology, 1998This paper consists of a categorization of optical buffering strategies for optical packet switches, and a comparison of the performance of these strategies both with respect to packet loss/delay and bit error rate (BER) performance. Issues surrounding optical buffer implementation are discussed, and representative architectures are introduced under ...

Packet-switched optical networks
IEEE Micro, 1998We describe a testbed to study both the theoretical aspects and physical implementation issues associated with high-bit-rate, multihop, packet-switched OTDM networks. We have found that using optical time-division-multiplexed (OTDM) techniques can greatly increase the bandwidth of a single-wavelength channel.

Techniques for optical packet switching and optical burst switching
IEEE Communications Magazine, 2001Wavelength-division multiplexing appears to be the solution of choice for providing a faster networking infrastructure that can meet the explosive growth of the Internet. Several different technologies have been developed so far for the transfer of data over WDM.

Design of optical packet switching networks
Global Telecommunications Conference, 2002. GLOBECOM '02. IEEE, 2003The paper considers optical packet switching networks with slotted operation. A general model of network nodes is introduced, based upon a nonblocking switching fabric, and re-circulating fiber delay lines to solve contentions. Given the current large bandwidth availability in optical networks, and the projected limitations of electronic switches, a ...

Optical buffering and switching in packet switched optical networks
IEEE AFRICON. 6th Africon Conference in Africa,, 2003Optical packet switching provides the advantages of transparency and the efficient use of the bandwidth provided by WDM on optical transport networks. There are however various impediments to deploying this technology in an all-optical fashion: optical buffering is inefficient, and all-optical signal processing has not been implemented in networks.

Optical packet switching networks
SPIE Proceedings, 2005Optical packet switching techniques have been studied for many years and many feasibility experiments have demonstrated the viability of this technology at different areas of the network. In this paper an analysis of the optical technology potential in different network areas: metro access, metro core and backbone, is carried out.

Optical switching technologies for fast optical packet switching
Proceedings of 2002 4th International Conference on Transparent Optical Networks (IEEE Cat. No.02EX551), 2003A survey of optical switching technologies being candidates for an optical packet switched (OPS) network is presented. Switching time range for optical switching fabrics is found through analysis. In light of this, and based on reported switch devices, switching technologies are identified as candidates for OPS.
